Updated bios now fan makes a VERY LOUD NOISE!

Hi I hope you can help because HP can't!
I have a ML115 G5
I updated my bios to the latest one and now the case fan is on constant full spin. I've tried down grading to all the other available bios's but the fan still stays on full, constant spin. I've tried windows and dos flashers. I loaded the defult values in the bios and nothing changes. 
~What can I do? 
It use to just be full spin for the first 30 seconds but now its on all the time. It give me a headache.
Please can you help?
Thanks
Jamie

You'll have to take it in.
With the original box, this isn't too bad if you don't have to walk far.
If it's too big and heavy, you could perhaps meet an Apple Store employee at the entrance and have them remove it from your car (assuming you drive to the store).

  • Macbook Pro makes a very loud noise as soon as i turn it on

    hi there im having an issue and i was wondering if someone could help me.. basically i only just bought my macbook pro about a week ago and my issue is that every time i turn it on it makes a really LOUD noise which is so irritating! and i know its not normal cause i have a friend with a macbook pro and his doesn't do that the noise he has is very low.. i was wondering if someone could help me out?

    You might try running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test (on one of your gray system discs) and see if you get anything in the nature of an error code which would point to the cause of the noise.
    Also, download iStatPro and use it to check your fan speed. If it is 6000 RPM or so, that is likely the cause of the noise. Fans normally idle silently at 2000 RPM, so 6000 RPM would not be normal.
    Also, if the noise is the fan, open Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top and "CPU" on the bottom. Look for a rogue process which is consuming an inordinate amount of the CPU.
    If the fans are at 2000 RPM, there is a high possibility that the noise is coming from your hard drive. If so, back up everything immediately and contact Apple about a repair or replacement. Since your Mac is just a week old, you may be able to exchange it for a new one if there is a hardware problem with it.
    Good luck!

  • My powerbook makes a very loud noise for hours!

    i dropped my powerbook off my lofted bed the other day and it landed on the ground on the very left side. the charger is a little bent and split (the actual thing you insert into the computer), and the very left side where the charger whole is is a little bent.
    however, there's been a noise coming out of my computer like a tktktktkttk noise constantly. it's very loud and disturbing. the powerbook runs fine except for this noise. i don't know if a fan is broken or something. the noise will stop when i put the powerbook to sleep and usually will stay quiet if i'm either running just safari or Word, but if i open itunes or ichat or anything where it needs to start something up the noise goes on for hours.
    it started last night for a few minutes, then stopped, and now it's been doing this the entire day.
    my questions are:
    1. is this a problem with the fan?
    2. is there anything i can do to stop it?
    3. what is the problem?
    4. how much will it cost to repair? i have applecare, but that runs out in feb., and i knwo they won't cover it for accidential damages.
    5. any other advice?
    6. has this happened to anyone before?

    Hi ...
    If the sound you hear on startup sounds like a "chord" being played, that's ok. That's telling you your Mac passed it's startup diagnostic tests. But a "whirring" noise.... no, that should not happen.
    If it doesn't sound like a chord, probably best to take it back for a replacement. You have 14 days from the date you received the product for an exchange. Beyond that, your iMac has a one year limited warranty.

  • Very loud noise heeelp

    I bought my macbook pro on ebay 2 years ago and have not had any problems with it until recently. It gets very hot when using it and makes a very loud noise if i smack the bottom of it the noise stops but recently it hasnt stopped andis getting worse. any ideas?

    I suggest not 'smacking' your MBP.  The noise makers on a MBP are the fans and the HDD.  You could open the unit and see if dust and debris have accumulated inside and if so, clean it out.  Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run verify and repair.  Also running the Apple Hardware test might give some clues:

    If no problems are identified, than an appointment at the Apple store genius bar is in order.

  • My fan is running very loud

    My fan is running very loud...Not sure what the problem is..Does anyone have any suggestions?

    If it is your fan, the cpu is working very hard.
    1. check with Applications/utilities/Activity Monitor, <all processes> , click the %cpu column, what process is running more than 50%?
    2. install the widget iStatPro (free), clik the Dashboard: iStatPro will let you see the CPU usage, the temperatures, and the fanspeeds.
    If there is a process that is "eating" the cpu, in activity monitor you can quit that process. Check in System Preferences/Accounts   Login Items tab, if it is there, delete it there. Restart the system.

  • 160 GB iPod Classic: VERY loud noise upon connecting!!

    Hello,
    Every time I connect my iPod to my computer, it makes these very loud and frightening grinding noises. It has only happened since I got my iMac back from repairs, during which the hard drive was replaced.
    It only occurs when I connect, and later, when I eject. After a while it stops.
    Nothing appears to be wrong with the iPod, and it syncs fine. This noise is the only issue.
    Here is a video showing what happens:

    Note: you may need to turn your volume up to hear it.

    Yeah- that sounds very frightening indeed. I also have the 160GB iPod Classic black but it purs like a kitten. I've had problems with the battery meter not being accurate but I can deal with that. I hope you have it insured with an extended warranty like I got when I bought it at Best Buy last year.

    this morning my PB G4 would not get to the password screen after power on.  I have rebooted many times and very loud noises (like a HD spinning/rubbing) emits. Tried the Install disk and it cannot find the hard drive. Ran HW test and got a "Mass storage Error Code" message.
    Did my HD just crash and unrecoverable?  Time to replace my notebook?

    I believe your hard drive has failed. Hope you have a backup.

  • BIOS Update and now fan is running constantly

    I got a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC last week and have just been prompted to install a BIOS update. When it was installing the update the fans turned on and were deafening.
    It's installed the update, restarted itself a few times, etc.
    However the fan is now running constantly and is extremely annoying. It's not blasting out by any means and is probably nowhere near how quick and loud it could be. But this is a brand new laptop and the fan shouldn't be running - all I'm doing is browsing the internet.
    What has this update done and how can I turn the fan off (I presume it will turn itself on when the heat inside the laptop requires it).
    Cheers

    Had my imac about 2 months now its the late 2012 27" iMac

    I have run AHT and no problems
    I have reset both SMC and PRAM neither fixed it.. Any ideas??

    anyone?

  • My Macbook Fan Is Running Very Loud...

    My fan has been running very loud for the past week and I'm not sure whats wrong with it. 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If the fan is working all the time, it looks like a sensor problem.
    Run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Plug the MacBook Pro to its charger, choose your language, tick the box to run an extended test and start the test. If at the end of the test you see an error, copy it here.
    It's probable that this is a sensor problem, but if the problem doesn't happen during startup, it would be a process which is consuming your CPU. Open Activity Monitor, select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar, and order processes by CPU. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU than the others?

  • My headphone audio output on imac makes a very loud low freg buzzing sound.

    I have my Imac hooked up to my home studio for recording music. It is currently hooked up to my high quality rane mixer, which has superior sound quality. But for some reason every time I plug a cord into the headphone jack to my mixer, TV or anything else from the Imac headphone jack, it comes out with a very loud low frequency humming/buzzing noise even on very low volume settings, even with the bass turned all the way down. It is extremely annoying. Does anyone else have this problem? I would expect a little more from apple products. Especially with something simple like this, since these machines are mostly designed for video/audio production. . I have tried switching my cords around and changing my setup for months now. No luck. And, no, my imac does not have an optical out and I think that would probably solve the whole problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you have your recording equipment isolated from the computer equipment? These buzzes and rumbles are usually easily solved by making sure that your audio equipment is plugged into a different electrical circuit than the iMac.
    However, yes your iMac does indeed have digital audio. I do not know of an Intel model that does not have digital audio. The audio ports do both analog and digital audio. To use digital audio you need a Toslink cable with a miniplug adapter on the iMac end of the cable.
    Such as this;
